    I suspect that means 33 days if it were being drawn from and not replenished, and if it were the sole source from which oil were being used. Remember this is an "emergency supply".

    This is like the individual, "How long would you be able to survive on your savings if you were suddenly and unexpectedly unemployed?" but for the whole U.S., and oil rather than money.
